Thegoal of the proposed modification is to make the program comparable to curricula offered at CEprograms in the US in general and the State of Indiana and nearby schools in Michigan and Ohioin particular. Moreover, the program should serve the needs of Indiana as presented in the surveyof 27 civil engineering firms in the State.

In response to the newest body of knowledge, the RTBCommittee is preparing an action plan to do just that.This paper summarizes the changes made to the CE-BOK between the 2nd and 3rd editions andexplains how the CE-BOK is and always has been the foundation of ASCE’s RTB effort. It willexplore how ASCE has historically used the CE-BOK as a catalyst to influence change in theprofessional preparation of civil engineers, and how it may be used in the future. Potentialhurdles to implementation will be shared, particularly considering significant changes that havebeen made. For example, CE-BOK3 has added an affective domain to some of its traditionalcognitive outcomes, which no doubt will present a challenge for implementation

However, official recognition ofthe concept in practice has come relatively recently. For example, the ASCE Board of Directorsintroduced the concept into the ASCE Code of Ethics a little more than a decade ago3.Equipping civil engineers at the university level to plan and design sustainable developments,buildings, and processes is also relatively new.

When fielding prospective projects and during initial investigations, a DCPmay have insight into what types of supplies and materials as well as tools and labor will beinvolved. These factors are critical in understanding if the project will be sustainable in theproposed locale. During the design and planning stages, a DCP can help save the project teamtime and effort by making suggestions concerning the practicality of early ideas.

Provide literature regarding the case as a reading assignment several days ahead of any in-class activity. This allows students an opportunity to read the case over at their own pace, take notes, and collect their own personal thoughts. It also allows more time during the formal lecture session for discussion or collaboration with their peers. 2.
